                          <title>Timed Chapter Exam</title>

                          <introduction>

                            <p>
This is an <tag>exercises</tag> division, as a peer of the <tag>section</tag> in this <tag>chapter</tag> of a <tag>book</tag>.  It is also setup as a Runestone timed exam.  So it is an example of how you might have a per-chapter exam.  This contrasts with an earlier timed exam which is constructed as a per-section exam (<xref ref="timing-exercises"/>).  The exercises are the same here, but in a different order.  As a test, this exam is <q>pauseable</q> and has a 15 minute time limit.
